Synopsis

Satellite Communications Systems is the only guide that covers the entire technology, from groundlinks through signaling, access, spacecraft, orbits, and positioning. Featuring an easy-to-read style and a step-by-step approach that's long on design fundamentals and short on mathematical derivations, this essential reference walks you through satellite system design, step by step. It features special new sections on geosynchronous satellites for global mobile communications, non-geostationary constellations, and low- and medium-orbit systems. In addition, it covers the latest technology and concepts—plus future trends. You also get examples, guidelines, models, case studies, useful orbit-related formulas, and references. Combining thorough coverage of traditional satellite communications issues with in-depth treatments of global mobile concerns, this guidebook is an indispensable working tool for communications, aeronautical, and systems engineers, for technicians, and for students in these disciplines.
